Regret Came Too Late (Grace and Ethan) novel Chapter 193

Grace had only said this to annoy Alice, so she never thought what kind of impact it would have on anyone else. While she was still vigorously wiping the desk, Ethan reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

She froze and turned to look at him. Ethan suddenly smiled. "Do you want to have lunch together?"

Grace stopped moving, forgetting how to respond for a moment. Then she remembered her promise to be available whenever he needed her until his leg healed. She answered awkwardly, "Sure, that sounds good."

As soon as she spoke, Alice made a sudden noise from across the desk. The documents in Alice's hands fell to the floor as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Her heart raced wildly as the color drained from her face. She quickly bent down to pick up the papers and mumbled, "Mr. Henderson, I just remembered something urgent. I need to go."

As she left the office, her movements were stiff and clumsy. She felt a chill running through her entire body.

She suddenly remembered what had happened when Ethan appeared at Grace's college graduation. Everyone assumed he was just passing by, but he'd gotten into a car accident with Grace that day, injuring his leg. Afterward, he never blamed Grace and chose to go abroad instead.

During that time, Grace had been pursuing Yancey relentlessly. Alice clenched her fists hard, and she even tasted blood in her mouth.

She'd always thought Ethan let the accident go because of Yancey, but Ethan actually always treated Yancey coldly. In fact, he was cold toward everyone in the Henderson family. A smile like the one he just gave was something he'd never shown to anyone else.

Alice trembled with rage. After everything she'd done, everyone still only thought about Grace.

At that moment, Liam's phone rang with a call from Grace. He thought he was hearing things. "Grace?"

Whatever Grace said made him rush toward the door. "You're okay! Do you know how worried I've been? I've lost ten pounds!

"You need to make me some good food to help me recover. And Dad's been bedridden this whole time—you should at least visit him. You're so heartless!"
